The St. Louis Policy Initiative brings diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives to study policy in our region. Substantively, its research agendas engage with the most pressing policy challenges in society today. The initiative explores the relationship between racial segregation, political representation, housing policy, public health outcomes, and environmental outcomes in urban cores and their suburbs. For example, how does political representation translate into improved public health outcomes? To what extent do environmental factors drive disparities in home prices in Black and white neighborhoods?
The St. Louis Policy Initiative’s St. Louis Policy Data Project serves as a collaborative research endeavor with the primary objective of gathering a wide range of empirical data about the St. Louis region. The purpose of this project is to provide end users with the capability to visually analyze and compare data pertaining to St. Louis City and County.
